	British Overseas Territories Act 2002 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although it is not normally possible under either territory's immigration laws to acquire British Overseas Territories citizenship (BOTC) by naturalisation in that territory, the former inhabitants of the BIOT still hold BOTC by virtue of their birth, or a parent's birth, in that territory.
		South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands was included in the scope of the Act mainly due to its former association with the Falkland Islands.
		The 2002 Act is similar in scope to the British Nationality (Falkland Islands) Act 1983 and repealed that Act (without affecting the validity of any acquisition of British citizenship under that legislation).
